A Look at the TAG Heuer Carrera "The Gray Man" Watch
Tuesday - 02 August 2022
TAG Heuer releases the new Gray Man Carrera Three Hands watch worn by Ryan Gosling in the Netflix-produced action film, The Gray Man.
Luxury watches and Hollywood are synonymous with one another, and every now and again, a very special timepiece comes along that not only features on the silver screen but wins the hearts of thousands. The new TAG Heuer Carrera Gray Man watch is a special blend of charisma and horological mastery that will not only appeal to film buffs but also to the huge TAG Heuer fan base. The famous Swiss watchmaker has mastered the art of producing a stylish film watch many times before. Take, for example, the TAG Heuer 980.031 Night-Diver watch seen on the wrist of Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights film, and the TAG Heuer Monaco watch style on Steve McQueen’s wrist in the 1971 Le Mans film, not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio’s gold-plated TAG Heuer Professional 1000 starring in The Wolf of Wall Street.
TAG Heuer’s latest film partnership is with the new Netflix-produced action film The Gray Man. It features the 39mm Carrera Three Hands Automatic on the wrist of Ryan Gosling. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo of Avengers End-Game, the film is an action thriller that follows the adventures of Sierra Six, an elite CIA operative played by Ryan Gosling. The character requires a watch that matches his fight for survival as he navigates terrifying underwater escapes as part of a global manhunt and undertakes a thrilling gunfight whilst strapped to a park bench. Frederic Arnault, CEO for TAG Heuer explains:
“We are thrilled to partner with Netflix for The Gray Man – not only does it star our very own brand ambassador in the form of Hollywood icon Ryan Gosling, but with a cast that also includes Chris Evans and Regé-Jean Page. With the Russo brothers directing, it already is the must-watch movie of 2022. And what else would Gosling’s unflappable Sierra Six wear than a TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands – an iconic timepiece that is designed for those who don’t crack under pressure”.
The new TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands Gray Man watch represents the brand’s motor racing heritage with the same elegant and fearless design. Since its first introduction in 1963, the Carrera’s uncluttered and perfectly readable design was primed for challenging conditions both on and off the racetrack, whilst its timeless aesthetics proved popular as a subtle sporty dress watch option. Without being ostentatious, the new Carrera Three Hands watch for the Gray Man movies remains incredibly visible on Ryan Gosling’s wrist throughout the movie and perfectly matches his personality, blending into whatever environment it is faced with.
The new TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands Gray Man watches associated with Ryan Gosling’s onscreen character are the references; WBN2111.BA0639, fitted on a stainless steel H-link bracelet with a folding clasp and push buttons, and the reference: WBN2111.FC6505 fitted on a black alligator leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp. Both models boast a fine-brushed and polished stainless steel case in the Carrera’s classic round profile with a timeless silver dial adorned with baton-style indexes. The new TAG Heuer Gray Man watch wears comfortably on the wrist with a diameter of 39mm and a height of 11.50mm. Equipped with 100-meter water resistance, both cases are topped with a sapphire crystal glass front and caseback. The latter grants a clear view into the reliable Calibre 5 movement, whilst the front has been treated with a double layer of anti-reflective technology to assist with a glare-free view of the dial.
This version of the TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands watch features Super-LumiNova coatings on the central hour and minute hands and the hour markers to assist with timekeeping at night or in dark conditions. Aside from the “Automatic” lettering residing at 6 o’clock, you can also view a clean and crisp date window at 6 o’clock, dressed against a striking white background to enhance readability. The ergonomically crafted TAG Heuer Ryan Gosling Gray Man watch is sure to drum up some excitement amongst Carrera watch collectors and Gosling fans alike. Whether opting for the black leather band option or the version fitted with a more sophisticated stainless steel bracelet, you get to enjoy the performance of the Calibre 5 through the sapphire crystal glass exhibition caseback mentioned earlier. The mechanical automatic movement performs at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a useful 38-hour power reserve. Both watches come presented inside a complimentary black leather travel pouch adorned with the iconic TAG Heuer logo and red contrast stitching.
